Justin Timberlake: Jessica Is Most Significant Person In My Life

Justin Timberlake gushes to 'Vanity Fair' about marriage... and his ex-girlfriend, Jessica Biel.

"She is single-handedly the most significant person in my life," Justin Timberlake gushed to Vanity Fair (via USA Today) in regards to his ex-girlfriend, Jessica Biel. "In my 30 years, she is the most special person, OK? …I don't want to say much more, because I have to protect things that are dear to me—for instance, her."

Aw, that's sweet, JT... However, it does beg the question, doesn't it? If J-Biel is the so near and dear to him, then why did he break up with her (and, if the Hollywood rumor mill is to be believed, cheat so often throughout the couple's long-term relationship)?

Well, Justin stayed pretty mum on that topic, but did dish about how he's suddenly thinking marriage post-breakup. Odd, right?

"As little as six months ago I wouldn't have even thought about that, but now it feels like a closer planet orbiting around," he said.

But, although wedded bliss has crossed his mind, he still struggles with the idea of the whole forever-thing when it comes to tying the knot: "I think the mistake is that people commit to who that person is right then and not the person they're going to become. That's the art of staying together, is changing together. When you say it like that, it seems damn near impossible, right?" How Did Justin Timberlake Cheat? Let Us Count The Ways.

We hear you, JT. We hear you. But we have good news: It's true that unions fail everyday, but it's also true that marriages succceed everyday, too. So, it's hard, but totally impossible. For that we are certain.

Time will tell how serious Justin is about all this marriage talk... We'll see if he tries to rekindle the flame with Jess, but we sort of doubt it.
